I have been sourcing this vintage and antique indigo from a Japanese warehouse in the city for years. Scrounging through containers of discarded kimono fabric scraps, carefully collecting washing and saving them until I had enough, and the courage to actually use them! So I have finally made a skirt from the pieces. Each scrap has been carefully perserved in the shape that it came and pieced with minimal seams. (Some of the pieces are no bigger than 1cm x 2cm.) The actual colour is quite a bit more vibrant than the photo. I'm very happy with the outcome , and I plan on making another longer skirt soon!
